A Spicy Touch: Family Favourites from Noorbanu Nimji’s Kitchen

A Spicy Touch: Family Favourites from Noorbanu Nimji’s Kitchen is a generous, home-cooked portrait of Indian and Indo–East African family food, gathered from Noorbanu Nimji’s long culinary practice and shaped in collaboration with Karen Anderson. This second edition brings the book forward with the assurance of recipes that have been tested, retested, and revised for the home kitchen.

A family cookbook with real depth

What stands out here is the sense of lived tradition. The recipes are not presented as restaurant fare or trend-led interpretations; they come from a domestic cooking culture where spice, comfort, and routine are closely connected. The book’s opening material signals that practical help matters just as much as flavour, making it especially appealing to cooks who want clear, grounded guidance.

From spice box to supper table 🌶️

The contents move through a wide range of dishes, including soups and salads, snacks and starters, samosas, chutneys, beef and lamb, chicken, fish and seafood, tandoori cooking, vegetables, dal, rice, Indian breads, drinks, and sweets. That range makes the cookbook useful both as a weeknight reference and as a source of dishes for larger family meals and gatherings.

Cook with confidence
